Film Impressions Blog ~ a new look

The blog Film Impressions, created by myself and Misti Layne, just got a new look. I just finished working on it and I hope you will agree how much better it looks.

When I was thinking about Film Impressions' new visuals, I kept remembering those old shower glass doors. I found this image of shower type glass on-line to use for logo and added the hand written type font.

The next day while I was walking up by Strawberry Canyon Pool in Berkeley, still thinking about the blog, I came across lots of this type glass... all around the pool property. I was so excited I took pictures! What a cool find.

See the next entry for these great impressionistic images.

Sweet Obama

In the last month or so I have come across bake sales for Obama.

What a great way to support our candidate of choice... with homemade sweets and dog treats. I myself had a delicious cupcake and Ruby, a gordon setter, had a yummy dog treat. This image is of the bake sale held at Piedmont's Harvest festival.

Voting is coming soon and with it change, I hope for the better and of course more yummies...

Professional Association

I recently became a member of the professional association By Recommendation Only.

I met with owner Johanna Kaestner about a month ago when she came to my studio for an interview and to peruse my albums. We had a lovely talk and I thoroughly enjoyed our time together.

She is passionate about weddings and the artist's vision behind their craft. Their website also has a Green Corner component, that offers brides ideas for creating a green wedding.

Inspiration ~ Anne Leibovitz's exhibit

Inspiration comes in many forms,
a beautiful sunset, a friends laughter, a portrait of a person that touches you and seeing an artist's exhibit their work. It is so wonderful when we get to see an artists life and their art celebrated.

The exhibit Annie Leibovitz: A Photographer’s Life, 1990–2005 at the Legion of Honor Museum is a wonderful tribute to one of today's very talented photographers. The show is amazing and of course the Legion of Honor in itself is a site to be seen.

After seeing this show I was reminded of some photos that I took while at Syracuse University. The images below were from a studio lighting class my senior year. The first one is of Susan and the second image is of Ella and her dog.

Welcome to my new blog

Welcome to my new web journal. It will be filled with my most recent work, news, musings and links to my favorite sites.

I look forward to sharing with you what I am passionate about. I hope you will find it inspirational. Thanks for visiting!
